[issue19081] zipimport behaves badly when the zip file changes while the process is running

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith added the comment:

I believe this is done.  I'm opting not to go for a more complicated "cache the open FILE* with the zip_directory_cache" approach for 3.4 due to complexity and time.

long term: It'd be ideal if zipimport weren't a pile of C code separate from the zipfile module itself.  importlib is baked in, perhaps a pure python zipimport and zipfile could be baked in someday.
